District highlights community schools grant and CTE expansion including $30,000 PLTW award for San Yero
Summary
Superintendent and staff reported a five‑year community schools grant worth about $7 million and a $30,000 Project Lead The Way grant for Sam Yero High School that will fund project‑based learning and local internships; staff outlined summer extended‑learning sites and CTE course expansions.
District leaders told the board on May 15 that Fairfield‑Suisun has received a five‑year community schools grant worth “over about $7,000,000” to support school‑based community partnerships and supplement campus services, and that Sam Yero High School secured a $30,000 Project Lead The Way (PLTW) grant to launch project‑based learning and internship opportunities.
These announcements matter because they provide multi‑year resources to expand wraparound services and hands‑on CTE programming, including internships with a local business named in the presentation.
Superintendent Sachs said community schools were awarded funding for five years and staff estimated “about $7,000,000 for 5 years.” Separately, presenters for San Yero (also rendered in transcripts as Semieto/Samuero) said the site received a $30,000 PLTW grant in partnership with a local business (RDAW/ARDA referenced in the transcript) that will support project‑based courses and offer student internships at the company’s Fairfield facility.
Staff also reviewed summer programming: 21 sites will host Expanded Learning Opportunities Programs (ELOP) and the district will operate extended‑year programs for students with IEPs, rising readers, Title I summer sites, credit recovery hosted at Fairfield High for other campuses, and multiple summer construction projects at school sites.
The board did not vote on the grants at the meeting; staff presented the awards and implementation plans and identified next steps for site implementation and partnership coordination.
